Orchestral excerpts for English F tuba

In Vienna in 1871, Daniel Fuchs added a sixth valve to a 'Wiener' tuba in order to improve intonation and aid blending with the sound of the Vienna horn. Although few of these instruments were built, when Richard Wagner was invited to England in 1877 by Hans Richter (appointed musical director in Vienna in 1875), arrangements were made for these tubas to be shipped over for the performances. Appreciation of this instrument in the UK lead to the development of the English F tuba, which, until the 1960s, was the standard orchestral tuba used in Britain. The instrument used in these recordings of music from Antonín Dvořák, Edward Elgar, Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Schönberg was built by Joseph Higham in ca. 1904. 0:00 Antonín Dvořák: Requiem (1891) 0:28 Edward Elgar: Variations on an Original Theme 'Enigma' (1899) 0:57 Edward Elgar: Symphony No. 2 (1911) 1:09 Arnold Schönberg: Five Orchestral Pieces (1909) 1:25 Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 2 'London' (1914) 2:07 Gustav Holst: The Planets (1918) Recorded at St. Cecilia's Hall, Edinburgh in March 2020, with the kind permission of Jenny Nex and Arnold Myers For more information on this project, visit https://www.jackadlermckean.eu/the-hi...
